Two hours later, me and Annie sat on the end of Bertl's bed, dabbing him with wet cloths and trying to awaken him from his slumber.
'Hellooooooooo, come on Bertolt wake up!' Said an annoyed Annie. It was nearly dinner and if we all missed that, rumours were bound to spread.
'Bertie Bertolt~!' I sang in a high pitched voice, earning a muffled laugh from Annie.
'Hey...' Said Annie
'What?' I asked, puzzled.
'Doesn't matter.'
'No, come on!'
'Ok...f/n'
'Huh?'
'What if Bertholdt is like sleeping beauty?'
'Waaah? You mean he won't wake up?
'Maybe...'
'Noooo! What have we done?'
'You might have to kiss him to wake him up.' Annie suggested.
'Oh ok!' I giggled edging forwards towards Bertl, looking at his sleepy face. 'Awh, look Annie!' I exclaimed.
'Just do it already!' She smirked, looking forwards to it.
Leaning forwards I held his warm face in my tiny hands and placed a big kiss on his lips.
'Huh, would never had thought Bertl tasted like Cherries!' I grinned.
'It's from Reiner...' Annie added quietly as we both erupted into laughter and she peered down at the giant to see the results...
*TIME SKIP*
Bertolt's POV:
Later on that day, I sat on my usual table staring at the two girls the other side of the room.
Why were they in my room earlier? What happened? All I remember is waking up to find them smiling at me and squealing, 'it worked it worked!' before running off giggling excitedly...
'Hey dreamer!' The bulky blonde beside me shouted, 'you thinking 'bout f/n again?'
I felt the blood rush to my face as I hid it beneath my hands, 'no...' I replied, as if asking for a comment.
'Haha! You so are!' My best friend teased. God I hate him sometimes...
Later on in our rooms, I was talking to Reiner about earlier. 'Umm, Reiner?' I said shyly.
'What!?' He whispered, clearly trying to sleep.
'Can I ask you something?' I asked nervously.
I think he realised this was serious...'Oh, course buddy!'
'Something weird happening earlier...'
'Uh huh...'
'Well, Annie and f/n were in our room, they were like, patting my head with towels and talking but I was half-conscious and didn't know what they were on about...'
'Probably girly stuff!' Reiner interrupted, 'but yeaa...'
'And then...they were gone.'
'What? What's wrong with that?Reiner said bored, not taking it seriously anymore.
Bertholdt pouted, thinking intensely. 'Don't you think that's strange though? They just...left.'
*TIME SKIP*
Reader's POV:
The next day was sparring day, thanks to Annie, we were late and got a special shouting from Baldie before being put into pairs.
'ALL RIGHT SHIT HEADS! I WANT YOU ALL IN BOY-GIRL PAIRS, PRONTO!!' He screamed as everyone dispersed and got into groups.
Obviously Reiner looked for us
instinctively as Jean began trotting up to me too. Uurrgh, here we go again, Another easy fight. But then...
'UM! F/N!' Bertl shouted, sweating as he jogged over, quicker than Jean, 'Do... Uh... You... Huff, wanna be... Uurrgh....'
'Awh of course I do!' I said, eager for a different fight.
Bertolt's POV:
'Hey Bertl, why don't you ask f/n to be your partner today? It's boy-girl anyway so she's a good match!' Said Reiner casually as he marched away.
'Uhhhh, but whaaaat if-!'
'Stop moanin' and just do it!'
'F-fine! But you've gotta grab Annie!'
'My pleasure...' (God he's so confident, if only I were like that...)
(Oh no! Jean is gonna get to her first!) I think as I jog ahead. (Gotta get there fast!)
I quicken my pace as I go past Jean and arrive at f/n successfully.
(Phew, now what?... Oh f/n!)
I turned to her quickly as she looked over at Jean worriedly, 'uh... Do...you...wanna be-'
'Of course I do!'
'Waaaaaaaaaaaht?...I mean, oh yes! Uh ok...'
I can't believe she said yes, I mean, it's not like a date but still...
Reader's POV:
I get into my fight stance as I watch Bertolt curiously staring at me.
(Huh? What's he looking at?)
'OI! L/N! Why haven't you attacked him yet?' Shadis screamed from the other side of the pitch.
'Oh! Yes sir!' I replied instantly, lunging for Bertolt.
(Why isn't he reacting?) I wonder as I charge towards him, I give him a quick leg kick flick, Annie style speciality and soon he's on the floor, dazed.
(What's up with Bertl today? He seems really distracted!)
'Uh are you ok?' I whispered to him sympathetically.
'Whaa-? F/N! What we doing here? I thought we were at the...'
'HOOVER! Clean up this mess and get to work!!'
'Oh my...! Sorry, yessir!' Bertl got up frantically and took his stance.
(Finally, maybe we can get some training done..!)
